The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Word 97 for Windows
This article was previously published under Q165077 SYMPTOMS
A clip art picture may lose all or part of an object when you edit it in
the Word Picture Editor.
CAUSE
Some text boxes in the Windows Metafile (WMF) graphic file are computed by
the picture editor to be too narrow resulting in text wrapping incorrectly
in the text box.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, edit and ungroup the picture. Then select and
resize the object that contains the missing components.
For more information about editing clip art, click the Office Assistant,
type How do I edit a picture?, click Search, and then click to view
"Ungroup and modify clip art."
NOTE: If the Assistant is hidden, click the Office Assistant button on the
Standard toolbar. If Microsoft Help is not installed on your computer,
